Take advantage of the opportunity to go the extra mile and reduce our planet’s net carbon footprint.
On demand, we can produce iQ Granit and iQ Eminent with bio-attributed vinyl, under the mass balance principles, for a greatly reduced carbon footprint.
Mass balance principles
We use bio-attributed vinyl - Biovyn™- replacing fossil-sourced raw material with renewable biomass, that comes from wood residue, supplied from sustainable forests from Finland, not competing with food production. Mass balance is a calculation method that guarantees that the amount of bio-based output from the process is equal to the bio-based input. This calculation method is based on an RSB (the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials) standard and certified by an external party, SCS, to ensure total tracking and transparency. iQ Granit and iQ Eminent products made with bio-attributed vinyl keep the same technical and maintenance high quality properties as the standard version. And it can be taken back after use and recycled into new products. iQ Granit and iQ Eminent with bio-attribued vinyl offer an increased* greenhouse gas emission reduction versus the standard iQ Granit and iQ Eminent ranges. It’s a groundbreaking development that takes us one step further to a carbon neutral society.
